Everyone knew that Hillsong United was touring the states (and Vancouver), but what a lot of them didn’t know was that they were also performing at the Jubilee Christian Center in San Jose, with tickets at a fraction of the price – only $15 instead of $60. Darlene Zschech was the one to lead the [...]

I’m not sure if it’s just the Kee Wah Bakery in Milipitas or other branches as well but they make my favorite wintermelon cakes, or in Chinese, wife cakes 老婆餅. I’ve been eating their wife cakes since my college days and they’ve always been consistently unique (in a good way) with their wintermelon paste smoother [...]

I’m glad more izakaya/Japanese tapas -style restaurants are popping up in the city, including Chotto in the Marina. They have a huge selection of excellent little bites that don’t seem like much at first, but before you know it, your bill ends up being in the mid hundreds range and you’re stuffed. My most favorite [...]

I’ve been back from Asia for a month now and I still haven’t gotten anything up about my trip to Taiwan and the second half of my trip to Hong Kong. For now, I hope this video that I made of my trip to Taiwan is enough. The music playing in the background is the [...]

I consider Gialina Pizzeria to be a hidden gem for thin crust pizzas. Not many people know about it because it’s far off in the Glen Park district where most of the people who go there live around there. The restaurant is always packed and they don’t take reservations, but they do take same-day phone-in [...]

The instant I opened a pack of Nestle Apple Kit Kat I felt a gust of fragrant apple scent spill out. It resembled being in a farm or a produce market. That’s fresh! Buy Kit Kat on Amazon

The Nestle Chili Kit Kat packs a little bit of heat from the Japanese chili and is not too sweet because it uses dark chocolate. It’s not as spicy as the name sounds – just think of it as slightly spiced chocolate. Buy Kit Kat on Amazon

Santa Ramen has been disappointing people since it moved. It’s not bad, and definitely far from it. Good broth, good noodles, but the pork didn’t impress me at all. It’s still one of the better bowls of ramen in the Bay Area. Ramen is their thing, but my favorite is their chicken karaage. The pieces [...]

It was a nice, sunny day and I was in a I-don’t-want-to-search-for-parking-and-wait-an-hour-in-line mood, so Mr. and Mrs. Miscellaneous (I still think this is the one of the coolest names for a shop) was the perfect place for some ice cream. I haven’t been here in a while because it’s a little out of the way, [...]

Straw has a “carnival fare” theme with random old-school carnival signs and decor, vintage counter-height seats, and a playful menu. My favorite dish is their “Play with Your Food” dish, which is French toast sticks piled up like a game of Jenga. The sticks are flash-fried so they come out crispy on all sides and [...]
